Hello again folks,

Here is a proposed text for a new paragraph in the Security Considerations:


   Some identifiers (e.g., IMSI) are considered to be private
   information.  If used in the MNID extension as defined in this
   document, the packet including the MNID extension should be encrypted
   so that personal information or trackable identifiers would not be
   inadvertently disclosed to passive observers.  Moreover, MNIDs
   containing sensitive identifiers might only be used for signaling
   during initial network entry.  Subsequent binding update exchanges
   would then rely on a temporary identifier allocated during the
   initial network entry.

Comments will be appreciated.

Regards,
Charlie P.

Hello folks,

I think the best solution for this would be a section in the Security
Considerations explaining the need.   I will fashion some text for the
upcoming revision ....-01.txt

Hi Pierrick,

The NAI that is used in S2a/S5 procedures is a IMSI-NAI, based on 3GPP TS 23.003. It is sent in PBU/PBA messages. Not sure, if IMSI information is seen as a confidential IE. But, I agree on the need to include some text on how the signaling message can be protected with privacy / confidentiality service set, when the identifier is based on some confidential data.

Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the list... it looks good. I'm just wondering about security considerations... Actually, from 3GPP standpoint, security constrains on IMSI and GPRSS/LTE temporary identifiers (P-TMSI, GUTI). AFAIK, IMSI is very rarely sent on the air (maybe only one time at the beginning of the 3GPP authentication process) for security reasons. So, I'm wondering if adding IMSI to the list of IDs, without any warnings, is somehow introducing security weakness to the 3GPP security process. Consequently, I'm not sure about the following statement "This document does not introduce any security mechanisms, and does not have any impact on existing security mechanisms." It's maybe not so true from the 3GPP point of view...

Maybe we should state that the ID option MUST be used in a way that it does not harm existing security mechanisms (i.e. use the option with caution J). For example, to address the issue above (maybe there are other examples... I don't know...), we could state that the IMSI should be transmitted only during first binding update, and not transmitted anymore as long as the association IMSI/HoA/HNP is done.... Or... simpler way to address the issue: if nobody has use-case for transmitting the IMSI, we can simply remove the IMSI from the list J

BR,

Pierrick

Hello folks,

We have published a ...-00 version of the MNIDs draft. This is mainly for
reference purposes.  A new version should be out within a week or so,
incorporating the suggestions and comments from people who responded
to the earlier suggestion to revisit this work.

Regards,
Charlie P.
